Hi, Your Stressed-Out Face Deserves One of These Jade Rollers

Listen, I typically always have one eyebrow raised when it comes to seemingly magic facial tools that can do exactly what my hands can do to my face, like, ahem, jade rollers. And I’m not alone. Dermatologists have already busted a few myths on jade roller benefits before, like how they can’t help define or sharpen your jawline, eliminate fine lines or wrinkles, or stop breakouts. “Jade rolling could theoretically improve lymphatic or vascular flow temporarily, but it won’t do anything for fat protrusion,” says dermatologist Jeaneen Chappell, MD. So I’m not a total nay-sayer here. Like Dr. Chappell says, they are helpful for temporarily reducing puffiness (combined with a good under-eye serum) and generally feeling reallly good on your skin (especially if you keep yours in the fridge for an extra cooling effect, btw).

But when it comes to shrinking your pores or smoothing wrinkles? “There is no science supporting these claims,” says Dr. Chappell. “So it is unlikely a roller would have the ability to increase collagen or unclog pores.” But hey, if you’re ready to give your face a nice little self-care massage (while being okay with keeping your regular skin care regimen for any fine lines and breakouts), you’re in luck, because I found the best 21 jade rollers to try right now. But first, a little on how to narrow down your choices, ahead.

How to choose the best jade roller

Read reviews

This might sound obvious, but when it comes to products like this where there are about a zillion of them all claiming to be the best (on Amazon alone), the reviews are your most helpful guide for navigating through the jade rollers that squeak, break after a few uses, or just don’t feel as good as they look in the pictures versus the ones that will last you years and are worth your money. Lucky for you, I went ahead and found some very good picks below to start with.

Consider what you need it for

Do you want to roll out your eyes in the morning with your eye cream? You can probably just stick to a simple, small, one-sized jade roller that’ll get the job done. But if you’re looking to spend a good twenty minutes sculpting your face at night and really ~self-caring~, a double-sided roller that can massage larger and smaller areas will be a better fit, or a kit that includes a few different options (yup, there’s one of those in this list, too).

K, now that we've cleared that up, let's get into the best jade rollers. First, a quick look at our top picks:
